NEW YORK U.S. A. PREFACE It is many years since Lyman H. Low published his list of Hard Times Tokens. As this Work has been out of print for a jong time, we feel there is really a demand for a new Edition, so we are now publishing it. Our new edi- tion is numbered according to Low with the text from his book, but we have added to this the photographs which we feel the collectors will greatly appre- ciate. We shall from time to time enlarge same, adding the new varieties which are discovered. Before adding any new coin to this list we willl have to receive a photo- graph of same, when it will be given a number. If you will communicate with us when you find a new variety we shall be glad to add it to the new list. We are largely indebted to Mr. E. H. Adams for his photograph plates. We also take this occasion to gratefully acknowledge the assistance received from the following collectors: EDGAR H. ADAMS, DR. GEORGE HET- RICH, W. F. DUNHAM, LEONARD KUSTERER, ELLIOT SMITH, G. L. TILDEN, F. H. SHUMWAY. GUTTAG BROS. HARD TIMES TOKENS The accompanying cut explains the references by number, in the following descriptions, to the different styles of borders and edges. The metals are designated as follows:—AR, Silver; AZ, Copper; B., Brass; W., White metal. The size is given in milli- meters.

XLI DECEMBER, 1928 No. 12 List of New York City Store Cards Struck in the Hard Times Period. By WAYTE RAYMOND. (Paper read at the Annual Convention of the American Numismatic Association, Rochester, N. Y., August 18 to 23, 1928.) In 1886 the late Mr. Lyman H. Low published the first edition of his list of Hard Times tokens. This list consisted almost entirely of the tokens having a political reference or with devices imitating the legal coinage. In the second edition, published in 1899, Mr. Low included the dated trades- men’s tokens of the period, also a number of undated ones. It is now my purpose to prove the eligibility of many other tokens, undated, but by style and a reference to old directories, clearly belonging to the series. My investigation has, so far, only taken in the pieces struck in New York City. The photographs accompanying this article illustrate all the tokens of that City which can be positively claimed to have been struck between the years 1832 and 1844. I have taken the very great liberty of giving them numbers in continuation of the Low list. 184. Atwood’s Railroad Hotel, 243 Bowery. This well-known old card with the equesrian figure of Washington on obverse, is generally supposed to have been of an earlier date. The fact, however, that the same die was used for the Bale & Smith card would place it in this period. See No. 186. The New York directories do not mention this hotel or its proprietor. 185. Bailly, Ward & Co., 41 Maiden Lane. See New York directories 1832-1843. 186. Bale & Smith, 68 Nassau Street. A great firm of die-sinkers and token makers of the period. This token has the same obverse as the Atwood piece. The New York directories only give this address in 1835 and 1836. From 1844-48 at 96 Fulton Street. i 187. J(oseph) and L. Brewster, Hatters, 166 Water Street. See New York directories of 1834 and 1835. In 1840-41 at 176 Water Street. 188. Collins’ Ready Made Linen and Fancy Store, 67 Maiden Lane. Wm.

At this address in 1844-46. 190. Day, Newell & Day, Locksmiths, 589 Broadway. In New York directories 1834 and 1835. 191. Doremus, Suydam & Nixon, Dry Goods, 50 and 52 William Street.

At this ad- dress in 1836 and 1837. There are other cards of this concern, but the ad- dresses place them either before or after the Hard Times period. 194. Dr. L. Feuchtwanger, 377 Broadway. Dr. Lewis Feuchtwanger was the maker of the “American Silver Composition,’’ used in many tokens of the time. New York directories place him at this address in 1831 and 1832. 195. Dr. L.

Some of these pieces were struck in more than one metal and have varied edges. I will try to tell more about such varieties at a later date, also to describe the tokens of the period issued in New York and other States. In connection with my researches along these lines I have been able to place the approximate date of issue of a great many other old store cards and expect to be able to compile a very complete list of all such tokens issued before 1845. These are all of great interest as they were undoubted- ly used as a medium of exchange, while the later ones are merely advertis- ing checks. WERE I A BOOK. By WALDO C. MOORE.

LLOYD, North Tonawanda, N. Y. (Paper read at the Annual Convention of the American Numismatic Associatio Rochester, N. Y., August 18 to 28, 1928.) Mention of the silver dollar immediately brings to the mind of an Amer: can a series of complexes which may be dislikes, fears, satisfaction or amuse ment. But whatever the impression it makes, this venerable coin is repre sentative of one of America’s outstanding characteristics. It has an inte: esting history which we must study if we are to pass on its future, whethe to condemn or to exonerate. The first dollars were made in 1794, the second year of the mint operatio1 From then until 1873 the coinage of dollars continued intermittently, wit long years between some of the issues. The total amount produced in thi eighty-year period was only a little more than eight millions of dollars Everyone is acquainted with the story of its revival. The silver interest found themselves without a market for their product and agitated fo resumption of dollar coinage. In response to their plea Congress passed th act of 1878, unquestionably one of the greatest pieces of class legislatia ever put over in Washington. The new dollars were turned out at an ur precedented rate. By 1893 over three hundred million pieces had bee minted. In 1886 the issue of one and two dollar certificates tended to chee the increase of dollars in circulation, and this, with the reaction in 189: stopped the flood of silver. In 1904 the dollar was again discontinued b Congress. In the West hard money was preferred and accepted as a matter of coursé In the Hast some preferred the paper notes, and this preference graduall increased since the Treasury seemed quite willing to issue the certificates “Cartwheels,”’ as the dollars were called, continued to circulate until afte the Spanish-American War, when the increase in paper notes forced th coins into the vaults. There was no change in the distribution of silver dollars or silver certifi cates until the World War, with its widespread influence, touched the cur rency of the United States. Silver,-preferred money in the Far East, wa in demand. Subsidiary silver was needed here. For war-time cooperatioi the Pittman Act directed the sale of some two hundred millions of our dol lars to China. Some fifty millions more were melted for subsidiary coin i} the United States. Necessarily, silver certificates had to be retired to } large extent and their place was taken by the Federal Reserve Bank notes familiar currency of the post-war years. The provisions of the Pittman Act provided for the recoinage of dollar after the war. Accordingly, in 1921 the Treasury purchased the silver t¢ restore the melted coins. Since that time all the mints have been busil2 engaged restoring the dollars, and now the task is about complete. Agait we have about five hundred million silver dollars, of which only fifty millior are circulating in the West or lying in bank vaults available to the public We are concerned today as to what the future policy of the dollar shoulc be. The act of 1878 made the silver dollar a standard unlimited legal tende: coin, forming for the United States what is known as the “limping standard.’ A “limping standard” occurs when a nation accompanies its gold standar« with a semi-silver standard in which a coin of silver has unlimited legal- tender quality. There are many objections to the limping standard. Ye the action of recent years indicates that the Government is satisfied witl its present policy and does not wish to arouse the silver interests. So wé will go on with a standard coin which is nothing but a token, since the de cline in the price of silver has removed all possibility of the dollar becoming a full-bodied coin. From this point of view we can review the recent devel opments and proposed changes in the silver dollar. In 1923 the Administration conceived a plan to test the dollar’s useful ness. The Treasury officials began to issue dollars to the public to see i they could be effectively circulated again. If they would stay in circulatiorz a reduction in the certificates would follow, thereby decreasing printing costs.
